Eagles Face Barracuda On The Road
Oct 29, 2021
The Colorado Eagles will face off against the San Jose Barracuda for the third time this month, this time at the Shark Tank in San Jose.
The two teams have seen a lot of each other this month, facing off in two pre-season matchups and two regular-season games already. Colorado came out strong in the pre-season, taking both games, but fell short when it counted. The Eagles dropped both regular-season meetings by one-goal margins despite their offensive barrage of league-leading shots on goal.
Tonight’s tilt will see the Eagles seeking some revenge against the Barracuda and still chasing their first win of the season.
